The Intelligent Machines Lab Reading Group meets every Friday at 10:30 A.M. in LT-1 at Information Technology University, Lahore. We present and discuss publications, tools and experiments from variety of areas like Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Robotics, Social Robots, Human Robot Interactions and Geographic Information System (GIS). These meetings are very informal, everyone (faculty members, students, research fellows etc.) is welcomed to join us. Our objective is to provide venue for sharing new developments, enhance mathematical rigor and have fun helping each other.
Organizer: Mr. Javed Iqbal
Please email at phdee17005@itu.edu.pk if you would like to present a paper at the group.
